List of tallest buildings in Ottawa-Gatineau

See also: List of buildings in Ottawa

This is a list of the 10 tallest buildings in Ottawa-Gatineau (Canada's National Capital Region). There are zoning controls in downtown Ottawa to ensure that buildings are not taller than 45.5 metres (150 feet)^[1] so that the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill at 92.2 metres can dominate the skyline as it is viewed from the Ottawa River. However, rules have been exceeded on some occasions to allow for taller buildings. The tallest building in the national capital region is the 30-storey Terrasses de la Chaudière at 124 m.

As of February 2011^[update], the region contains 51 skyscrapers over 75 m (246 ft) and 414 high-rise buildings that exceed 35 m (115 ft) in height.^[2][3]

The tallest development that is under construction in Ottawa-Gatineau is the 90 m (295 ft) 150 Elgin "Preformance Court" office developement by Morguard Investement, to stand at 23 floors.
